Donald Trump spoke on Monday, May 11, of the possibility of limiting his contacts with his vice-president Mike Pence which he seemed to confirm that he was in “quarantine” after a case of coronavirus in his entourage. Asked at a press conference about measures to limit their contacts preventively, the President of the United States replied: “This is something that we will probably talk about during this quarantine period.”
Mike Pence, yet in charge of the White House crisis cell to fight the pandemic, was not present at this press conference.
The new coronavirus officially appeared a few days ago in the epicenter of American executive power: Katie Miller, spokesperson for Mike Pence, tested positive last weekend. A soldier also serving the President.
“I haven’t seen him since”assured Donald Trump about his vice president. He added that Mike Pence tested negative on Sunday and again on Monday. “He is in very good shape, and I think everything will be fine”, he insisted.
However, the White House on Sunday denied any quarantine measures regarding the vice president.
In any case, three other members of the crisis cell took precaution in self-isolation: Anthony Fauci, the world-renowned epidemiologist who advises Donald Trump, Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) ), and Stephen Hahn, head of the Medicines Agency (FDA).
